A quiet marvel tucked into the heart of Dublin’s medieval soul. If you blink, you might miss it—but don’t. This surviving stretch of the Old Dublin City Wall at Cornmarket is one of the last standing witnesses to a city once hemmed in by stone, strategy, and centuries of change. Built in the 12th century, likely as part of the Anglo-Norman fortification efforts, this section near Lamb Alley marks the site of New Gate—one of seven original entrances into the walled city. It’s humbling to stand beside something that once protected Dyflinn, a Viking settlement that grew along the River Liffey. The original walls were made of earth and timber, but the Anglo-Normans reinforced them with stone, carving out a boundary that enclosed less than a square mile. Today, only fragments remain, and this one is a gem. There’s no flashy signage or tourist fanfare—just history, quietly enduring. If you’re the kind of traveler who finds magic in the mundane and meaning in the mortar, this spot is worth a detour. It’s a reminder that cities are layered, and sometimes the best stories are the ones still standing.

THE EXPLORER

We flew to Ireland to join a long bus tour of the island. Started in Dublin, then touring around the island and finishing in Dublin. A great trip to see both country and city. Walking around Dublin was easy using google maps and my research. I like the historic stuff so we found the old city wall, or what was left of it. Not much to see. Too bad most was torn down over the centuries.
